No. The US founders understood that without reliance on God their new nation would not last. The much aligned church and state ruling was put in there to prevent the government from instituting a national religeon such as Catholic or Baptist or Methodists. Today their is a misguided movement to make the national religeon Athieism by removing all reference to God from any government facility. Some people have far to much time on their hands.

No. The separation of state is so people aren't forced to follow a certain religion and its rules....
Not to wipe out the word God entirely.

If you see God as a metaphor or stand-in for the common aspirations and beliefs all humans share, the answer is no.

There is no such thing as "separation of church and state." Find it in the Constitution and I will send you $1,000.

No because that denotes what the principals of foundation were by our founding fathers... it has absolutely nothing to do with church!
